If you’ve been here for a while you know I’m not really into “gift guides”

As a therapist I am happy to recommend products to support your specific needs but I’m not one to push things out at my clients.

That being said it’s the holidays and that means shopping and buying for most of us. This year I was very conscious to focus the majority of my spending with small businesses.

If you’re local to Wakefield/Reading here are some of my favorites! There are so many more out there so please share some of your favorites with me!

Did you know this about cows milk?

I have a lot of families that have been confused by the recommendations around bottles and cows milk.

🥛 you can introduce small amounts of cows milk with meals after 1 year of age
🐄 not all babies need cows milk in their diet
🍼cows milk does not replace breast milk or formula

Have more questions about this?

Come to one of my Starting Solids Workshops to learn more!

I usually recommend parents with babies who are 3-5month attend so you are prepared before baby is actually ready! If you’re not sure where to start or are looking for more support with solids it would also be a good course for parents with babies 6-9months.

Asymmetries can be subtle but can have a big impact on baby’s feeding and overall function.

Curious if your baby might have an asymmetry? Look back at all those adorable pictures you’ve taken. Do you notice they’re in the same position often? Do they look stuck to one side?

These are all good reasons to reach out for an infant occupational therapy evaluation.

After a much needed summer reset, I am back in the office with my normal scheduled hours.

I have goals for this buisness to continue to grow and support new families in some new and exciting ways.

I am currently accepting new clients. So please reach out if you would like set up an evaluation.

I have a love hate relationship with social media but am working to be more consistent here for families to get some tips and support.

Hope everyone’s school year is off to a great start!

Baby GIRL McKenna joined us 9.27 🤍

We are all doing well and soaking in every second of being a family of 5.

I will be on maternity leave until December. Please continue to reach out with any inquires as I am happy to refer and pair you with the best provider available right now to meet your needs!

Excited for new things to come in my business when I return as well as continuing to support all your early feeding needs.

I really don’t like the term Bottle Refusal.

Refusal implies it’s an intentional act and I think that is unfair for us to say about our babies who are not taking bottles.

There is always a reason our babies are not taking a bottle and its never because they choose not to.

Usually its because they can’t! They don’t know how.

Why do I see babies struggling with bottle feeding?

🍼Oral dysfunction

🍼Trouble motor planning

🍼Oral restriction

🍼Sensory processing difficulties

🍼Abnormal Reflexes

🍼Airway dysfunction

and most often its a combination of multiple of these!

Are you struggling with bottles? Reach out for an functional feeding evaluation so we can get to the root cause of your babies bottle challenges and works towards more optimal, more consistent, bottle feeding.

There are still a few spots open for our October session of Parent and Me OT and Crawling Bootcamp. Both of these classes are taught by a pediatric occupational therapist. These classes are a great place to connect with other parents while learning about your babies development. In both classes you will learn stretches and techniques to support symmetry and strengthening to work towards your babies development goals. We talk a lot about play, positioning, toys, and other products I recommend (or don't)! Come join us for our first class next Thursday October 6th.
